[Xmlrpc-users] https Client?

[Jan W. <j.w...@sc...>]

Hi,
in the documentation it says that a server will be available in fall 2001=
. But
it says nothing about doing client calls with https. Is this already supp=
orted?

[Xmlrpc-users] Incompatible hash codes

[<ro...@e-...>]

I am using XML-RPC for applet --> web-server communication and encountered the
following problem:
XML-RPC uses hash codes to identify object types (see comment at XmlRpcParser
and also XmlRpcValue), the problem is that hash-code for classes is not the same
for different JRE versions so in case the server and client run on different JRE
versions this identifying mechanism is broken.
My implementation uses JRE 1.2 or 1.3 for the server side and JRE 1.1 (Netscape
or IE VM) for client side.

One possible solution is to replace the integer based id by a string based id
(replacing the case statement in XmlRpcValue.processCharacterData() by an if /
else series).

[Xmlrpc-users] New Maintenance Release

[Greger O. <gre...@ma...>]

Hi all,

A new maintenance release, 1.2.1, is available that fixes several
issues.  The 1.3 release will contain some improvements in thread
handling and other areas, and will contain rewrites of code sections
that "stick out" of the rest of the code.

See homepage for a change log. Suggestions for further improvements
are very welcome.

Regards,

[Xmlrpc-users] new user

[Carl J. M. <cm...@mo...>]

I just downloaded xmlrpc.  I am using JBuilder and noticed the project 
file (cool).

When I try to build the project I get the following error:

"XmlRpcClient.java": Error #: 300 : variable zippedStream not found in 
class marquee.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient at line 267, column 60

I suspect the problem is staring me in the face because zippedStream is 
referenced a few lines above.  Hints?

BTW I picked up XMLRPC because I have a need to return and object/class 
(I was working with something else that seems to lack this 
functionality).  I spent a bit of time reading about XMLRPC and I have 
found conflicting statements on this point.  Does returning something 
besides a simple type violate the xml-rpc standard?  (Certainly the 
"struct" is documented in the standard but I seen references to this 
being a problem.)

TIA,
Carl J. Mosca
